Activists and lawyers protest cases against two witnesses charged with perjury in Wilhite retrial

Nathan Perez and Giselle Albelo are being charged with perjury for their testimony in Charles Wilhite’s retrial in Springfield, Massachusetts. We filed Charles Wilhite’s civil rights lawsuit against two Springfield police officers and the City of Springfield, alleging that the officers caused his wrongful conviction by fabricating evidence and threatening witnesses. These two witnesses recanted their original testimony and said that they had identified Mr. Wilhite because of police pressure. The witnesses are now facing life in prison if convicted of perjury.
